I've been reading this through the trades (thank you Comixology sales), but I've enough of a backlog of other great books to keep me busy until they get back. I agree with ye, let them do what they gotta do, and I'll be waiting when they return.

He's been told to stop several times tho. And nicely. If he actually gave a shit he'd just quit and move on. That's not the case tho so it's either put up with it and hopefully he gets bored and quits on his own or suspend him and hopefully he gets his shit together in a month.

Yeah, that isn't good. Once confronted, and given a new thread, you would expect it to stop.

I might see myself buying that if his continual bumping of the birthday threads had no been so clearly flippant.  He's just trying to get a rise out of people and playing the innocent schoolboy act to try and keep it going. 

Yeah, the man is in his mid to late thirties though, doesn't he have a wife and kid/kids? I just...who would do that?

Sexual gratification!

Am I the only one that believes that he could be genuine? I can see why ye think he's not, but I just can't see the motive. What could he possibly get out of pissing everybody off?

Hmmm

Zachary Levi has that goofball charm that could help this out. I loved him on Chuck

That's the guy from Chuck? I really did not like that show. No wonder I'm struggling with this.

Shazam is not a dark and gritty character.

 

I don't want DC to fuck him up like they did with superman.

 

 

I'm not asking for dark and gritty. I've no problem with this being a comedy, but this seems less Thor Ragnarok and more Henry Danger

Felt overly "kiddy" to me. From the vibe I'm getting I don't think we're the target demographic. 

I randomly came across this gameplay footage recently and just fell in love. I've been on a Kurosawa kick lately and have been rereading Samurai Executioner and all I keep thinking is, I want a Samurai Red Dead Redemption, and there it is.

I can understand why Disney felt they had to get rid of him, but do people actually think that he's a bad person now? Comparing him to the piece of shit that outed him? Come on, he made some extremely poor taste jokes. If that's all you have to do to be labelled a terrible person we're all fucked.

Oh yeah, the same definitely applies to Dr. Who, that is the Emperor's New Clothesingist thing I've ever watched.

Comcast Officially Bows Out Of Fox Race Leaving Disney Free To Acquire The X-MEN And FANTASTIC FOUR

 

Well, the X-Men, Fantastic Four, Deadpool and countless other film and television properties! Regardless, Comcast is officially out of the race and Disney is now free and clear to acquire 21st Century Fox.

 

Well, this is some well-timed news with Comic-Con in full swing! It's been confirmed today that Comcast has officially bowed out of its bidding war with Disney to acquire 21st Century Fox's assets as the cable giant instead sets its sights on landing European satellite TV giant Sky. That means Disney is now free and clear to purchase the studio and add a huge number of franchises to its massive fold.

"Comcast does not intend to pursue further the acquisition of the Twenty-First Century Fox assets and, instead, will focus on our recommended offer for Sky," the company said in a statement today. Brian L. Roberts, ComcastCEO, added: "I’d like to congratulate Bob Iger and the team at Disney and commend the Murdoch family and Fox for creating such a desirable and respected company."

While the Disney/Fox merger still needs to be finalised, this means the X-Men and Fantastic Four characters are pretty much guaranteed to arrive in the Marvel Cinematic Universe at some point in the next few years. That makes this shared world bigger than ever and ensures that Kevin Feige and company will be telling stories for not just another decade but probably a good two or three more!

 

Whenever I hear people recommending CW shows, there's always a lot of: "Just get through the first seventeen episodes and then it gets really good. It's still a little cheesy, but great. Now it does dip again for the next two seasons but the first three episodes of the current season is pretty close to its best" 

In the golden age of television, that's a long winded way of saying "Don't watch it".

I've only seen season 1 and the first two episodes of season 2, but how on earth can you prefer tv Jesse? He's an absolute monster on the show, just a terrible, terrible person.  

Who do we think it is? He seemed to be glowing.

Oh and that looks amazing, very Arkhamy like you said Nick, but that's exactly what I've been looking for since Arkham Asylum, a Spidey game in the same mould.

Came here to post this, looks great and pretty much (probably literally) written for Carrey. He epitomises the sad clown trope.

It looks so fresh and different, the animation is beautiful, and it seems to have real charm. I can't wait to see this.

Can't fucking wait, a shame that we (Ireland nor the U.S.) are there, but should still be amazing.

My picks from each group: 

Group A  - Russia and Uruguay.

Group B - Portugal and Spain.

Group C - France and Denmark.

Group D - Argentina and Croatia.

Group E - Brazil and Serbia.

Group F - Germany and Mexico.

Group G - Belgium and England.

Group H - Poland and Colombia.

Spain and Brazil are my outright picks, but if you're looking for a punt, Belgium are the dark horses of this tournament. 

Spoilered as slightly in poor taste for this thread 

No, I legitimately spewed written diarrhoea back in the day. I can only plead temporary insanity.

Does ASC still think Kirby is a hack?

 

That would be a negatory.

Wow, ye absolutely nailed it.  

I'm only familiar with baby showers through movies and such, but based on the above evidence, I concur that that was the best baby shower ever.

P.s. Cap/Winter Soldier (which I'm just seeing for the first time) was also amazing. Do ye have those professional photos ye took?

If someone offered me €100 to play whatever this is for two hours I'd turn them down.

Do ye not find first generation 3d graphics nauseatingly terrible? 

I know I don't.
